It is my assertion that God, in His sovereign will, orchestrates periods during which individuals confront sin and temptation. Each person bears the weight of their specific transgressions, which loom over them. This struggle extends beyond the more overt sins that may be easier to resist; it encompasses the daily, pervasive challenges that individuals face. Furthermore, sin profoundly affects our ability to find joy in God's presence, as it is intrinsically linked to the experience of suffering. The cessation of acute pain may signify the absence of sin, and conversely, the eradication of sin would indicate a spiritual transition or transformation. However, God can render our sins acutely painful, prompting a deep awareness of our moral failings. This heightened sensitivity underscores the necessity of divine grace, which offers forgiveness for our transgressions. Genuine repentance signifies a state of being that God demands, one that surpasses our capacity to atone for our sins independently. The focus is not solely on self-examination as a means to conquer sin; rather, an individual who recognizes the profound danger of sin also becomes acquainted with the liberating grace of God.
